Strategos ® units help partnership fulfill
mission of reduced energy consumption
In January 2008, the Western Cooling Efficiency Center (WCEC) at UC Davis
built a 3,500-sq.-ft. facility in Davis, California, to provide exhibit space for
new technologies, training facilities for industry professionals and offices
for its staff. The new building, housed at one of the nation’s top research
universities, was conceived as a model of energy efficiency and sustainable
design, and through their research they determined that the Strategos ®
rooftop unit was the best fit for their needs.
The most energy-efficient rooftop units in the industry,* Strategos units are
designed for efficiency ratings up to 33% higher than ASHRAE 90.1 standards
to give businesses advanced control over energy usage and operational costs.
For the WCEC, it was clear that the industry-leading RTU was the preferred
choice for meeting its efficiency goals for the new building. Lennox donated
a 5-ton Strategos rooftop unit with efficiency ratings of 15.5 SEER and 12.8 EER.

“We selected the new Strategos unit because it was the most efficient cooling unit of its type,” explained Mark Modera, director
of the Western Cooling Efficiency Center. “We have supported implementation of the ‘Hot Dry Air Conditioner’ specifications
proposed for California, and we found the Strategos unit to be the only 5-ton rooftop unit available that met the rigid ‘hot dry’
criteria. The unit serves our educational mission by demonstrating an advanced cooling system,
and will save energy expenditures for many years to come.”
*Claim pertains to 14.3 EER rating for the SCA036H4B 3-ton unit, based on comparison of publicly available information regarding steady-state efficiency (EER) for single
packaged rooftop units, 3 to 24 tons, G/E, E/E or cooling only, 3-phase voltage. Established through internal review of competitive literature, January 2009.

Keeping your school—
and your students—successful
The keys to a successful school include keeping teachers and
students comfortable and productive while protecting your
investments, such as computer equipment and library books.
Improving indoor air quality by controlling humidity levels and
helping reduce the spread of allergens can help encourage
student attendance.
Better air quality:
• Improves comfort by reducing humidity
• Creates a pleasant, welcoming classroom environment
that encourages students to attend class
• Helps guard computer equipment and library books
from humidity damage
• Protects teacher and student health and enhances
productivity by limiting the spread of allergens
• Helps students who may learn better in classrooms
that are comfortable
Your Lennox representative can help you design a program
to improve your indoor air quality with the Humiditrol ®
dehumidification system, UVC light kits, high-efficiency air
filters and other IAQ equipment.
Helping HVAC professionals take the LEED ®
Lennox is a
committed
member of
the U.S. and
Canada Green
Building Councils
LEED is a third-party certification program
created by the U.S. Green Building Council
that encourages the adoption of sustainable
green building and development practices.
Known officially as the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design Green Building Rating
System , LEED is recognized as the national
benchmark for the design, construction and
operation of high-performance green buildings.
Green schools are healthy for students, teachers
and the environment. Built right, green schools
are productive learning environments with ample
natural light, high-quality acoustics and air that
is safe to breathe. Schools everywhere are going
green, nurturing children while saving money.
The LEED for Schools Rating System recognizes
the unique nature of the design and construction
of K-12 schools. Based on the LEED for New
Construction rating system, it addresses issues such
as classroom acoustics, master planning, mold
prevention and environmental site assessment.
By addressing the uniqueness of school spaces
and children’s health issues, LEED for Schools
provides a comprehensive tool for schools that
wish to build green, with measurable results.
LEED for Schools is the recognized third-party
standard for high-performance schools that are
healthy for students, comfortable for teachers,
and cost-effective.
Lennox offers a wide range of products designed to help achieve
LEED certification, including the new ultra-efficient Energence ®
line of rooftop units. To learn more, visit our guide to green
